Textile Common closed eighteen points above the closing quotation of the previous day; if Langdon's brother had not been just a little indiscreet, I should have been as hopeless a bankrupt in reputation and in fortune as ever was ripped up by the bulls of Wall Street. As it was, I believed that, by keeping a bold front, I might extricate and free myself when the Coal reorganization was announced.
He had written to her father at once, and Sir Iltyd had informed him in reply that although aware of his rank and private fortune, through Lady Langdon's intimation, and although possessing a high regard and esteem for his father, still it was impossible for him to give any definite answer until he had known him personally, and he therefore invited him to come as soon as it pleased him and pay Rhyd-Alwyn a visit.
Langdon's perplexity was cut short by the cry, "They're off!" the jingle of a bell, and the scurrying of many feet, as eager men rushed for higher points of observation in the stand. As the seven horses came thundering by, pulling double in eager ignorance of the long journey that lay before them, Langdon saw with evil satisfaction that the Indian was well out in the lead.
I saw the whole plot now I understood Tom Langdon's activities, I recalled Mowbray Langdon's curious phrases and looks and tones. But why why why? How was I in his way? It was all dark to me pitch-dark. I returned to the smoking-room, lighted a cigar, sat fumbling at the new situation. I was in no worse plight than before what did it matter who was attacking me?
A hundred yards up the slope Thor stopped and turned. Again he reared himself. Now Muskwa also faced to the north. A sudden downward drift of the wind brought the barking of the dogs to them clearly. Less than half a mile away Langdon's pack of trained Airedales were hot on the scent.
The Eniautos Daimon. Tammuz earliest known representative of Dying God. Character of the worship. Origin of the name. Lament for Tammuz. His death affects not only Vegetable but Animal life. Lack of artistic representation of Mysteries. Mr Langdon's suggestion. Ritual possibly dramatic. Summary of evidence. Adonis Phoenician-Greek equivalent of Tammuz.
It would be better seemingly to cooperate with Langdon. He has the public confidence. We've not.... Besides, whom would we put in Langdon's place?" "Ruef," said "Big Jim," with his ready admiration. "He's the man." "Hm!" the little boss exclaimed, reflectively. "Well we shall see." Frank liked Langdon. He was rather a slow-thinking man; not so clever at expedient as Ruef.
One could discern at a glance that it was a place of retreat and rest for a woman of taste. In reality, it was Patricia Langdon's place of refuge at least, she so regarded it. She did not speak again until she had mounted the steps which led up to it; nor did the man who followed her. But then, when they were beneath the roof of the pavilion, she turned about and faced him.
"That's true enough; but give and take is the rule in political matters, Langdon." This remark brought a frown to Langdon's face. "I don't like bargaining between gentlemen, Peabody. More important still, I don't believe American politics has to be run on that plan. Why can't we change a lot of things now that we are here?"
Thanks to Langdon's political pull, the president appointed as investigator one of those rascals who carefully build themselves good reputations to enable them to charge higher prices for dirty work. But, with my facts before the people, whitewash was impossible. I was expecting emissaries from Langdon, for I knew he must now be actually in straits.
